Brooklyn Nets vs. Indiana Pacers Tip

Details:

The Brooklyn Nets had many issues in the off-season with their star player having many demands for the front office and threatening to leave the team. It is pretty questionable if they did any of that but Durant is still with the Nets.

Individually, he is playing really well averaging 32 points per game just like Kyrie Irving who is at 30.5.

But the real issue for the Nets is the team record as they are at 1-5. Currently, the Nets are on a four-game losing streak and already lost 125-116 to the Indiana Pacers two days ago.

The Pacers also have a losing record of 3 wins and 4 losses but no one really expected of them to be good. They traded two of their best players last season and now are searching for a new identity that goes pretty well.

Tyler Haliburton has taken over as the teams leading scorer with 23.4 points per game while Miles Turner and rookie Bennedickt Mathurin are also playing well.

Key facts

• TJ Warren will not play for the Nets
• TJ McConnell and Daniel Theiss will not play for the Pacers
• Brooklyn has won 7 of the last 8 against the Pacers

At first sight, this game seems very easy to predict but that actually is not the truth. Yes, the Nets have much better players on the roster but they lost to the same Pacers two days ago even though Durant and Irving scored a total of 61 points. Truth is that something is not functioning well within the team which is not the case with the Pacers. Indiana has no All-Stars on the team but their effort is on a very high level which is best seen by the fact that they had 19 more rebounds that the Nets in the previous game. The Nets are favorites to win in this game and they probably will but the handicap of +10 points for the Pacers for 1.71 looks like a great deal.
